Question

My teeth are in very bad condition, but if cavities don't stop getting worse, than why should i start brushing my teeth now ?

If theres decay and cavities, then brushing my teeth wont matter than will it ?

Answer 1

You should start brushing if you like having teeth.

Answer 2

why would you not brush your teeth..?
is every single tooth in your mouth a cavity or have decay?
brushing your teeth is good hygene.. and it prevents other caviities from getting worse.. but cavities are basically from the foods you eat... which is why you brush it off.. so you dont get cavities.

you should really take care of your teeth and if you dont brush it will build up bactiera which gives you horrrible breath.

pleasee tell me this is a hypothetical question and you actually brush your teeth.

Answer 3

I had a friend who thought her teeth were too bad to put right too. You'll be surprised, visit the dentist and get some treatment, continue to do what you can to help stop further damage. You need to gently brush your gums too to stop gum disease and stimulate blood flow to the gums.

I don't know whether you have free treatment in your country, in the UK we are lucky if your not working you can get treatment. Try to find out if you have any dentisits who treat those on lower incomes, sometimes they have a special practice where you can go on certain days of the week/evening etc.

Good luck mate, don't give up on your teeth altogether!

Answer 4

There are many components to brushing your teeth. To keep it simple, I will asuume you want to look nice, and not offend people with your breath or your yellow teeth. You need to see a dentist regularly, and put in the effort of brushing and flossing regularly. It really takes very little time. Maybe as much as you spent here posting this question. Your dental health is also tied closely to your general health and you risk heart disease and other infections from diseased teeth, as well as gum disease, bleeding gums and eventual tooth loss. Fix the cavities you have now and begin regular dental visits and you will slow the cavity process and begin to notice better dental health....

Answer 5

Yes, it will.

If you started to brush now, it would slow and prevent further cavities from developing.

Additionally, in most cases cavities don't just "stop getting worse". Especially if you don't brush

Answer 6

David,,,brushing with floride toothpaste is good to slow decay,,,,stop eating foods high in carbs, sugars and salts (as these foods will speed up the decay process). And most of all,,,FOR GOD SAKE,,go to the dentist and get your teeth problems under control. If you can't afford it,,,google 'freedentist',,and you will be able to find out about places that will do low cost or even free dentistry (depending on your situation).
they are called 'dental camps'.....and the wait is ussually very long,,,so hurry and get on a waiting list,,,or borrow some money and have your dental problems fixed,,,befor you have to grind all your food to eat.
Best of luck!

Answer 7

Brushing will prevent other teeth from getting cavities and prevent cavities from getting worse. Also using Listerine will help your teeth to get stronger and prevent more damage.
